Death: Then stood in the sky.

Kenichi Ito smiled: "Since we didn't see anything, even if we did see Soi Fon, what would we say to her?"

The officers of the Imperial Guard remained silent.

Only one of the criminal investigators, his eyes gleaming, asked, "What about the adults in Room 46...?"

Then all eyes turned to look.

In an instant, my body felt icy cold.

The omen of death is shining.

As a combat unit primarily responsible for kills in covert operations, some members were killed in action.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Chapter 53: Women who protect their calves are terrifying!

"They want to lock me in a maggot's nest?" Aoshi asked curiously.

The Maggot Nest was used to detain people deemed potentially dangerous by the Seireitei, but not necessarily those who had committed crimes.

Nekorea was once imprisoned there.

The reason given was that his research was too dangerous.

"That's not true."

“Those guys are clearly eyeing what you have, and they want you to hand over the formula or deliver some [Spiritual Pressure Amplification Potions] regularly.”

Yoruichi Shifūin curled her lip: "They're just some tactics used to force you to compromise."

"After all, your brother is Jushiro Ukitake, and Shunsui Kyoraku is both his fellow student and his friend. If you push them too far, you might provoke the Captain-Commander to intervene."

The two brothers, Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku, have been inseparable since their youth. Their relationship is so close that they can share a pair of pants and would give each other their lives.

If Ukitake Seiji is dealt a fatal blow, Ukitake Jushiro will certainly not stand idly by, which will then lead to the exposure of Kyoraku Shunsui.

If these two are determined to make a big fuss, then Captain-Commander Yamamoto will certainly not stand idly by.

The same thing happened when Tsuna Mishi replaced Tokiwa.

Ukitake Jushiro and Kyoraku Shunsui alone were not enough to punish Tsunayoshi Tokinashima; the 46th Chamber completely ignored them.

But these two guys managed to shake out Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Even the 46th Chamber had to give this captain, who had been around for a thousand years, some face, and finally reluctantly gave Tsunayoshi Tokihata a punishment of confinement.

Aoshi understood; it seemed he didn't need to persuade anyone.

Tsk.

It's so nice to be a kept man.

Qing Si remained calm: "By the way, does what you just said still stand?"

Yoruichi Shifūin: "What?"

Aoshi hesitated, then said, "I just want to call you 'older sister' and then..."

Yoruichi Shifūin narrowed his eyes, glanced down, and chuckled, "Ha, it seems you really like it."

Qingji: "?"

"I was just scratching an itch, what are you thinking?"

"Don't say anymore, I understand, I understand, you've been saving it up for a long time, haven't you?"

Aoshi laughed in exasperation. He had only corrected the trajectory; any man would understand.

"You don't believe me? I'll take it off and show you."

"I'm not going to watch it, hahaha."

......

Meanwhile, in Soul Society.

This is a cluster of pristine white buildings, representing its pristine character, but beneath this pristine facade lies a pathological system.

That is, there is no system for leaving the Gotei 13.

To put it bluntly, there is no option of retirement.

Because the Gotei 13 is regarded by the 46 Chambers as a noble and clean organization, it is not permissible for 'unfit members to appear among qualified members' to occur.

When a team member has to leave the team due to personal reasons, it is called "taking a break from the team." If they are unable to return to the team after a long period of time, they will be expelled from the team.

Once someone is deemed to have left the team, or is suspected of having thoughts of leaving, the First Division of the Covert Operations, under the direction of the 46th Bureau, will physically restrain them and forcibly contain them in the Maggot Nest, which is guarded by the Third Division of the Covert Operations.

In the more than 1,000-year history of the Gotei 13, there is only one exception.

Kuchiki Ginrei, the former head of the Kuchiki family, the former captain of the 6th Division of the 13th Division, and the grandfather of Kuchiki Byakuya.

And this moment.

Amidst this cluster of pale buildings, a petite figure walks slowly forward, her long hair braided, her gaze serene and elegant.

Soon, the road came to an end.

It was an enormous door, and the guards outside crossed their scepters in front of them the moment they saw the other person.

"Please return, Captain Unohana. We have not received any orders from the 46th Division. There are no visitors today."

Unohana Retsu didn't answer, but instead glanced at her gently.

In an instant, the guards outside the gate were struck as if by lightning.

They felt their bones groaning in pain, and their souls were about to disintegrate into spirit particles, completely collapsing into the most basic structure of the world.

"Please forgive my rudeness, but I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, so may I open the door?"

The voice was still so gentle, but the guard felt only a bone-chilling coldness within it.

After a brief silence.

creak-

The door slowly opened.

Retsu Unohana nodded slightly and walked inside.

Behind me, I heard two sounds of someone falling to the ground.

The guard at the gate was covered in sweat and his body was shaking like a sieve.

They looked at Unohana Retsu's seemingly frail back with fear in their eyes.

What kind of monster is this?!

It's not about overwhelming force!

It's not a death omen brought about by murderous intent!

It's not spiritual pressure either!

Just one look from them was enough to nearly break their souls!

So... nothing bad will happen, right?

They swallowed hard and immediately prepared to get up and inform the Gotei 13 about what had happened.

But suddenly two hands landed on their shoulders.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Kyoraku Shunsui said in a deep, teasing voice, "It was just a very ordinary exchange."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Well, you agree, right, Ukitake?"

A few coughs came from behind.

With a pale face, Jushiro Ukitake walked over, his eyes fixed on the closed door that had been closed again.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Kyoraku Shunsui stood beside him, stroking his chin and sighing, "They really messed with the wrong person. You know, a woman who protects her calf is extremely terrifying."

despair.

despair.

despair.

Slow, rhythmic footsteps echoed through the narrow passage, and Unohana Retsu finally stood on a platform that had been enclosed, resembling a gladiator arena.

A beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating her position.

Above this were nobles, their faces obscured by numbers, suspended high above the Seireitei, detached from the foundation.

There were people of all ages, men and women among them.

They are Room 46.

"Captain of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13, Retsu Unohana, we do not believe we have summoned you." A dignified voice rang out.

"I'm so sorry..." Retsu Unohana apologized softly, but was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Since you knew it was impolite, you shouldn't have acted so rudely! And you shouldn't have barged into our territory!"

"What is your purpose!"

Upon hearing this, Unohana Retsu raised her head and said softly, "I only wish to ask you all to retract your orders targeting Ukitake Seiji."

"What?!"

"Outrageous! How dare you interfere with the decisions of the Forty-Sixth Chamber!"

"Do you even know what you're talking about! Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana!"

"Where are the guards? Throw her out!"

The members of Room 46 shouted loudly with unfriendly expressions.

The guards hidden in the corridor trembled.

In response, Retsu Unohana said softly with gentle eyes, "Gentlemen, it seems like it's been a long time since I've used a Zanpakuto."

"!!!"

"Are you threatening us?!"

Unohana Retsu suddenly smiled: "Oh my, how could I threaten you all..."

His voice suddenly turned icy cold, chilling you to the bone.

"If you all see this as a threat."

"Then—"

"Just treat it as a threat."

Chapter 54 Go tell that to that woman.

"Are we just going to let her go like that?"

"Otherwise, you try to stop her? Can you do that? Or can you make her willingly submit to our orders?"

"But isn't she being incredibly rude! Has she forgotten that her true identity is that of a criminal?!"

"We shouldn't have taken her in in the first place!"

"Now you're getting angry, why didn't you say that to her earlier?"

"Tell her? Do you really think that woman won't dare kill us?"

When their lives are threatened, these people who stand above the rules can no longer maintain their dignity and resort to scathing insults at each other in a disheveled state.
